Senator Rick SantorumChampion of Faith & Families

As a husband and father, Rick Santorum knows the importance of
protecting and providing for your family. He believes that at the core
of the American experience is the family, and that without strong
families, we cannot have a strong and vibrant nation.

During his time in elected office, Rick Santorum fought for the
preservation of the traditional American family and for the protection
of the most vulnerable in our society. Rick was the author of
legislation outlawing the heinous act known as partial-birth abortion
and he championed the fight to pass the "Born Alive Infant Protection
Act" and the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act." He also authored
legislation to advance adult stem cell research, so that ethical
research could take place to fight debilitating diseases without the
moral implications associated with embryonic stem cell research that
destroys human life.

Rick Santorum not only believes but cherishes the ideal of a culture of
life. As a member of the United States Senate, Rick fought for the
passage of the Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA), and
the "Combating Autism Act" to fight this devastating disease that is
affecting more and more of our nation's children.

When activist judges took it upon themselves to redefine marriage, and
with it the underpinnings of the traditional American family and our
First Amendment right to Freedom of Religion, Rick spearheaded the
debate in favor of Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004. Rick
successfully fought even members of his own Party and had the
amendment brought to the Senate floor for public debate in two
successive Congresses. Even though he knew he would be labeled a bigot
or worse by members of the liberal elite, Rick Santorum understood
this issue was far too important to the future of our society not to be
debated before the American public.

Rick understands that our freedom to practice our faith is not just
under attack through the redefinition of marriage, but in nearly every
facet of the popular culture. As a member ofthe United States Senate,
Rick authored the "Workplace Religious Freedom Act" to ensure
individuals of all faith could not be discriminated against while on
the job. Rick also founded the Congressional Working Group on Religious
Freedom to ensure that the principle of Freedom of Religion would not
be infringed upon.

Since leaving the Senate in 2007, Rick has spent much of his time
advancing these same principles in the private and non-profit sector.
Rick has helped raise funds to support organizations like the Susan B.
Anthony List, Americans United for Life, and the National Organization
for Marriage. But of all his jobs, Rick is most proud of his time
spent as a husband to his wife Karen and a father to their seven
children - including serving as the Little League coach for their two
youngest sons.
